3n li mnnam Q ' Aan.ceA IflfliAtttn On January 11, 1942, the faculty, students, and staff of the School lost a beloved friend and faithful associate, Miss Frances Mullen, Information and Case Record Clerk of the operative clinic. Born in Braddock Heights, Maryland, in 1881, Miss Mullen came to Baltimore at an early age. Following her graduation from the old Eastern High School in 1896, she entered Strayer ' s Business College, where she received her special training for the field of service which was to be her life ' s work. Miss Mullen assumed her position at the School in 1927 with a long record of efficient and sincere service in the business world behind her. At the School, her consci- entiousness and ability in handling the many varied and complicated details of her position made her accomplishments a very vital part of the smooth operation of the infirmary. Her kindness and diplomacy in greeting the many patients who entered the clinic built her an enviable reputation with them. The esteem in which many patients held her was shown by their countless expressions of regret after her death. Miss Mullen ' s sincerity, cheerfulness, and friendliness were like a letter from home to the bewildered student beginning his clinical work. She showed a sympathetic under- standing of the various problems confronting a dental student throughout his clinical training, gratifying ability to remember personal facts about every student on the floor, and a genuine interest in the welfare of each of her boys, as she liked to refer to them. These attributes made her the warm friend and confidante of many. The high regard with which her memory is held in the hearts of students, alumni, and faculty is a living testimonial ' to a truly lovable person. H. S. Levy Page Seven
